2. State of the Art

CSF-1R is the receptor for M-CSF (macrophage colony stimulating factor, also called CSF-1) and mediates the biological effects of this cytokine (Sherr 1985). The cloning of the colony stimulating factor-1 receptor (also called c-fms) was described for the first time in Roussel et al., Nature 325:549-552 (1987). In that publication, it was shown that CSF-1R had transforming potential dependent on changes in the C-terminal tail of the protein including the loss of the inhibitory tyrosine 969 phosphorylation which binds Cbl and thereby regulates receptor down regulation (Lee 1999).

CSF-1R is a single chain, transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and a member of the family of immunoglobulin (Ig) motif containing RTKs characterized by repeated Ig domains in the extracellular portion of the receptor. The intracellular protein tyrosine kinase domain is interrupted by a unique insert domain that is also present in the other related RTK class III family members that include the platelet derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR), stem cell growth factor receptor (c-Kit) and fins-like cytokine receptor (FLT3). In spite of the structural homology among this family of growth factor receptors, they have distinct tissue-specific functions. CSF-1R is mainly expressed on cells of the monocytic lineage and in the female reproductive tract and placenta. In addition expression of CSF-1R has been reported in Langerhans cells in skin, a subset of smooth muscle cells (Inaba 1992), B cells (Baker 1993) and microglia (Sawada 1990).

The main biological effects of CSF-1R signaling are the differentiation, proliferation, migration, and survival of the precursor macrophages and osteoclasts from the monocytic lineage. Activation of CSF-1R is mediated by its only ligand, M-CSF. Binding of M-CSF to CSF-1R induces the formation of homodimers and activation of the kinase by tyrosine phosphorylation (Stanley 1997). Further signaling is mediated by the p85 subunit of PI3K and Grb2 connecting to the PI3K/AKT and Ras/MAPK pathways, respectively. These two important signaling pathways can regulate proliferation, survival and apoptosis. Other signaling molecules that bind the phosphorylated intracellular domain of CSF-1R include STAT1, STAT3, PLCγ, and Cbl (Bourette 2000).

CSF-1R signaling has a physiological role in immune responses, in bone remodeling and in the reproductive system. The knockout animals for either M-CSF-1 (op/op mouse; Pollard 1996) or CSF-1R (Dai 2002) have been shown to have osteopetrotic, hematopoietic, tissue macrophage, and reproductive phenotypes consistent with a role for CSF-1R in the respective cell types.

The recent success of targeted therapeutics, such as Herceptin® and Avastin®, has underscored the importance in developing “cleaner” less promiscuous drugs with a more specific mechanism of action. These drugs can minimize adverse events, have greater predictability, give physicians greater flexibility in their treatments, and provide researchers with a better understanding of a particular target. Additionally, targeted therapy may allow treatment of multiple indications affected by the same signaling pathway with fewer and potentially easier to manage toxicities. (BioCentury, V. 14(10) February, 2006) Inhibition of an individual kinase, such as CSF-1R, which is integrated within a pathway associated with cancer or other diseases, can effectively modulate downstream kinases as well, thereby affecting the entire pathway. However, the active sites of 491 human protein kinase domains are highly conserved, which makes the design of selective inhibitors a formidable challenge (Cohen 2005). Accordingly, there is a need for selective kinase inhibitors, such as selective CSF-1R inhibitors.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A continuing need exists for compounds that inhibit cellular proliferation, inhibit the growth of tumors, treat cancer, modulate cell cycle arrest, and/or specifically inhibit molecules such as CSF-1R, and for pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments that contain such compounds. A need also exists for selective CSF-1R inhibitory compounds. A need also exists for methods of administering such compounds, pharmaceutical formulations, and medicaments to patients or subjects in need thereof.

It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that the compounds of the invention, including the compounds of compounds of Formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IV), or (V) or their stereoisomers, as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, metabolites and prodrugs of any of them, may be subject to tautomerization and may therefore exist in various tautomeric forms wherein a proton of one atom of a molecule shifts to another atom and the chemical bonds between the atoms of the molecules are consequently rearranged. See, e.g., March, Advanced Organic Chemistry Reactions, Mechanisms and Structures, Fourth Edition, John Wiley & Sons, pages 69-74 (1992).

Preferred embodiments, including the compounds of Formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IV), or (V) or their tautomers, as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, metabolites and prodrugs of any of them, may comprise asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms. Such asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can result in the compounds of preferred embodiments existing in enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, such as in (R)- or (S)-forms. As a result, all such possible isomers, individual stereoisomers in their optically pure forms, mixtures thereof, racemic mixtures (or “racemates”), mixtures of diastereomers, as well as single diastereomers of the compounds of the preferred embodiments are contemplated. The terms “S” and “R” configuration, as used herein, are as defined by the IUPAC 1974 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SECTION E, FUNDAMENTAL STEREOCHEMISTRY , Pure Appl. Chem. 45:13-30 (1976). The terms α and β are employed for ring positions of cyclic compounds. The α-side of the reference plane is that side on which the preferred substituent lies at the lower numbered position. Those substituents lying on the opposite side of the reference plane are assigned β descriptor. It should be noted that this usage differs from that for cyclic stereoparents, in which “α” means “below the plane” and denotes absolute configuration. The terms α and β configuration, as used herein, are as defined by the CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS INDEX GUTDE-APPENDIX IV (1987) paragraph 203.

Methods for Treating CSF-1R Mediated Diseases

There are 3 distinct mechanisms by which CSF-1R signaling is likely involved in tumor growth and metastasis. The first is that expression of CSF-ligand and receptor has been found in tumor cells originating in the female reproductive system (breast, ovarian, endometrium, cervical) (Scholl 1994; Kacinski 1997; Nagan 199; Kirma 2007) and the expression has been associated with breast cancer xenograft growth as well as poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. Two point mutations were seen in CSF-1R in about 10-20% of acute myelocytic leukemia, chronic myelocytic leukemia and myelodysplasia patients tested in one study, and one of mutations was found to disrupt receptor turnover (Ridge 1990). However the incidence of the mutations could not be confirmed in later studies (Abu-Duhier 2003). Mutations were also found in some cases of hepatocellular cancer (Yang 2004) and idiopathic myelofibrosis (Abu-Duhier 2003).

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and Tenosynovial Giant cell tumors (TGCT) can occur as a result of a translocation that fuses the M-CSF gene to a collagen gene COL6A3 and results in overexpression of M-CSF (West 2006). A landscape effect is proposed to be responsible for the resulting tumor mass that consists of monocytic cells attracted by cells that express M-CSF. TGCTs are smaller tumors that can be relatively easily removed from fingers where they mostly occur. PVNS is more aggressive as it can recur in large joints and is not as easily controlled surgically.

The second mechanism is based on blocking signaling through M-CSF/CSF-1R at metastatic sites in bone which induces osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption and osteolytic bone lesions. Breast, kidney, and lung cancers are examples of cancers that have been found to metastasize to the bone and cause osteolytic bone disease resulting in skeletal complications. M-CSF released by tumor cells and stroma induces the differentiation of hematopoietic myeloid monocyte progenitors to mature osteoclasts in collaboration with the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand—RANKL. During this process, M-CSF acts as a permissive factor by giving the survival signal to osteoclasts (Tanaka 1993). Inhibition of CSF-1R kinase activity during osteoclast differentiation and maturation with a small molecule inhibitor is likely to prevent unbalanced activity of osteoclasts that cause osteolytic disease and the associated skeletal related events in metastatic disease. Whereas breast, lung cancer and multiple myeloma typically result in osteolytic lesions, metastasis to the bone in prostate cancer initially has an osteoblastic appearance in which increased bone forming activity results in ‘woven bone’ which is different from typical lamellar structure of normal bone. During disease progression bone lesions display a significant osteolytic component as well as high serum levels of bone resorption and suggests that anti-resorptive therapy may be useful. Bisphosphonates have been shown to inhibit the formation of osteolytic lesions and reduced the number of skeletal-related events only in men with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer but at this point their effect on osteoblastic lesions is controversial and bisphosphonates have not been beneficial in preventing bone metastasis or hormone responsive prostate cancer to date. The effect of anti-resorptive agents in mixed osteolytic/osteoblastic prostate cancer is still being studied in the clinic (Choueiri 2006; Vessella 2006).

The third mechanism is based on the recent observation that tumor associated macrophages (TAM) found in solid tumors of the breast, prostate, ovarian and cervical cancers correlated with poor prognosis (Bingle 2002; Pollard 2004). Macrophages are recruited to the tumor by M-CSF and other chemokines. The macrophages can then contribute to tumor progression through the secretion of angiogenic factors, proteases and other growth factors and cytokines and may be blocked by inhibition of CSF-1R signaling. Recently it was shown by Zins et al (Zins 2007) that expression of siRNA of Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), M-CSF or the combination of both would reduce tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model between 34% and 50% after intratumoral injection of the respective siRNA the xenograft. SiRNA targeting the TNFalpha secreted by the human SW620 cells reduced the mouse M-CSF and led to reduction of macrophages in the tumor. In addition treatment of MCF7 tumor xenografts with an antigen binding fragment directed against M-CSF antibody did result in 40% tumor growth inhibition, reversed the resistance to chemotherapeutics and improved survival of the mice when given in combination with chemotherapeutics (Paulus 2006).

TAMs are only one example of an emerging link between chronic inflammation and cancer. There is additional evidence for a link between inflammation and cancer as many chronic diseases are associated with an increased risk of cancer, cancers arise at sites of chronic inflammation, chemical mediators of inflammation are found in many cancers; deletion of the cellular or chemical mediators of inflammation inhibits development of experimental cancers and long-term use of anti-inflammatory agents reduce the risk of some cancers. A link to cancer exists for a number of inflammatory conditions among those H. pylori induced gastritis for gastric cancer, Schistosomiasis for bladder cancer, HHV8 for Kaposi's sarcoma, endometriosis for ovarian cancer and prostatitis for prostate cancer (Balkwill 2005). Macrophages are key cells in chronic inflammation and respond differentially to their microenvironment. There are two types of macrophages that are considered extremes in a continuum of functional states: M1 macrophages are involved in Type 1 reactions. These reactions involve the activation by microbial products and consequent killing of pathogenic microorganisms that result in reactive oxygen intermediates. On the other end of the extreme are M2 macrophages involved in Type 2 reactions that promote cell proliferation, tune inflammation and adaptive immunity and promote tissue remodeling, angiogenesis and repair (Mantovani 2004). Chronic inflammation resulting in established neoplasia is usually associated with M2 macrophages. A pivotal cytokine that mediates inflammatory reactions is TNF-α that true to its name can stimulate anti-tumor immunity and hemorrhagic necrosis at high doses but has also recently been found to be expressed by tumor cells and acting as a tumor promoter (Zins 2007; Balkwill 2006). The specific role of macrophages with respect to the tumor still needs to be better understood including the potential spatial and temporal dependence on their function and the relevance to specific tumor types.

In another embodiment, a method for treating periodontitis, histiocytosis X, osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone (PDB), bone loss due to cancer therapy, periprosthetic osteolysis, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psiratic arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthridities, and inflammation is provided.

Rabello 2006 has demonstrated that SNPs in the CSF1 gene exhibited a positive association with aggressive periodontitis: an inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues that causes tooth loss due to resorption of the alveolar bone.

Histiocytosis X (also called Langerhans cell histiocytosis, LCH) is a proliferative disease of Langerhans dendritic cells that appear to differentiate into osteoclasts in bone and extraosseous LCH lesions. Langerhans cells are derived from circulating monocytes (Ginoux 2006). Increased levels of M-CSF that have been measured in sera and lesions where found to correlate with disease severity (da Costa 2005). The disease occurs primarily in a pediatric patient population and has to be treated with chemotherapy when the disease becomes systemic or is recurrent.

The pathophysiology of osteoporosis is mediated by loss of bone forming osteoblasts and increased osteoclast dependent bone resorption. Supporting data has been described by Cenci et al showing that an anti-M-CSF antibody injection preserves bone density and inhibits bone resorption in ovarectomized mice (Cenci 2000). Recently a potential link between postmenopausal bone loss due to estrogen deficiency was identified and found that the presence of TNF alpha producing T-cell affected bone metabolism (Roggia 2004). A possible mechanism could be the induction of M-CSF by TNF alpha in vivo. An important role for M-CSF in TNF-alpha-induced osteoclastogenesis was confirmed by the effect of an antibody directed against the M-CSF-inhibitor that blocked the TNF alpha induced osteolysis in mice and thereby making inhibitors of CSF-1R signaling potential targets for inflammatory arthritis (Kitaura 2005).

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is the 2^(nd) most common bone metabolism disorder after osteoporosis in which focal abnormalities of increased bone turnover lead to complications such as bone pain, deformity, pathological fractures, and deafness. Mutations in four genes have been identified that regulate normal osteoclast function and predispose individuals to PDB and related disorders: insertion mutations in TNFRSF11A, which encodes receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF) kappaB (RANK)—a critical regulator of osteoclast function, inactivating mutations of TNFRSF11B which encodes osteoprotegerin (a decoy receptor for RANK ligand), mutations of the sequestosome 1 gene (SQSTM1), which encodes an important scaffold protein in the NFkappaB pathway and mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene. This gene encodes VCP, which has a role in targeting the inhibitor of NFkappaB for degradation by the proteasome (Daroszewska, 2006). Targeted CSF-1R inhibitors provide an opportunity to block the deregulation of the RANKL signaling indirectly and add an additional treatment option to the currently used bisphosphonates.

Cancer therapy induced bone loss especially in breast and prostate cancer patients is an additional indication where a targeted CSF-1R inhibitor could prevent bone loss (Lester 2006). With the improved prognosis for early breast cancer the long-term consequences of the adjuvant therapies become more important as some of the therapies including chemotherapy, irradiation, aromatase inhibitors and ovary ablation affect bone metabolism by decreasing the bone mineral density, resulting in increased risk for osteoporosis and associated fractures (Lester 2006). The equivalent to adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy in breast cancer is androgen ablation therapy in prostate cancer which leads to loss of bone mineral density and significantly increases the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures (Stoch 2001).

Targeted inhibition of CSF-1R signaling is likely to be beneficial in other indications as well when targeted cell types include osteoclasts and macrophages e.g. treatment of specific complications in response to joint replacement as a consequence of rheumatoid arthritis. Implant failure due to periprosthetic bone loss and consequent loosing of prostheses is a major complication of joint replacement and requires repeated surgery with high socioeconomic burdens for the individual patient and the health-care system. To date, there is no approved drug therapy to prevent or inhibit periprosthetic osteolysis (Drees 2007).

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is another indication in which a CSF-1R inhibitor could prevent bone loss after longterm glucocorticocosteroid use that is given as a result of various conditions among those chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis (Guzman-Clark 2007; Feldstein 2005).

Rheumatoid arthritis, psiratic arthritis and inflammatory arthridities are in itself potential indications for CSF-1R signaling inhibitors in that they consist of a macrophage component a to a varying degree bone destruction (Ritchlin 2003). Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are inflammatory autoimmune disease caused by the accumulation of macrophages in the connective tissue and infiltration of macrophages into the synovial fluid, which is at least partially mediated by M-CSF. Campbell et al. (2000) demonstrated that M-CSF is produced by human-joint tissue cells (chondrocytes, synovial fibroblasts) in vitro and is found in synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting that it contributes to the synovial tissue proliferation and macrophage infiltration which is associated with the pathogenesis of the disease. Inhibition of CSF-1R signaling is likely to control the number of macrophages in the joint and alleviate the pain from the associated bone destruction. In order to minimize adverse affects and to further understand the impact of the CSF-1R signaling in these indications, one method is to specifically inhibit CSF-1R without targeting a myriad other kinases, such as Raf kinase.

Recent literature reports correlate increased circulating M-CSF with poor prognosis and atherosclerotic progression in chronic coronary artery disease (Saitoh 2000; Ikonomidis 2005); M-CSF influences the atherosclerotic process by aiding the formation of foam cells (macrophages with ingested oxidized LDL) that express CSF-1R and represent the initial plaque (Murayama 1999).

Expression and signaling of M-CSF and CSF-1R is found in activated microglia. Microglia, which are resident macrophages of the central nervous system, can be activated by various insults, including infection and traumatic injury. M-CSF is considered a key regulator of inflammatory responses in the brain and M-CSF levels increase in HIV-1 encephalitis, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and brain tumors. Microgliosis as a consequence of autocrine signaling by M-CSF/CSF-1R results in induction of inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxides being released as demonstrated by e.g. using an experimental neuronal damage model (Hao 2002; Murphy 1998). Microglia that have increased expression of CSF-1R are found to surround plaques in AD and in the amyloid precursor protein V717F transgenic mouse model of AD (Murphy 2000). On the other hand op/op mice with fewer microglia in the brain resulted in fibrilar deposition of Aβ and neuronal loss compared to normal control suggesting that microglia do have a neuroprotective function in the development of AD lacking in the op/op mice (Kaku 2003).

In one aspect, the preferred embodiments provide methods for treating CSF-1R related disorders in a human or animal subject in need of such treatment comprising administering to said subject an amount of a compound of Formula (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IV), or (V) effective to reduce or prevent the disorder.

In one aspect, the inhibitory effect of compounds on Raf is determined using the following biotinylated assay. The Raf kinase activity is measured by providing ATP, a recombinant kinase inactive MEK substrate and assaying the transfer of phosphate moiety to the MEK residue. Recombinant full length MEK with an inactivating K97R ATP binding site mutation (rendering kinase inactive) is expressed in E. coli and labelled with biotin post purification. The MEK cDNA is subcloned with an N-terminal (His)₆ tag and expressed in E. coli and the recombinant MEK substrate is purified from E. coli lysate by nickel affinity chromatography followed by anion exchange. The final MEK substrate preparation is biotinylated (Pierce EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin) and concentrated to about 11.25 μM. Recombinant Raf (including c-Raf and mutant B-Raf isoforms) is obtained by purification from sf9 insect cells infected with the corresponding human Raf recombinant expression vectors. The recombinant Raf isoforms are purified via a Glu antibody interaction or by Metal Ion Chromatography.

For each assay, the compound is serially diluted, for instance, starting at 25 μM with 3-fold dilutions, in DMSO and then mixed with various Raf isoforms (about 0.50 nM each). The kinase inactive biotin-MEK substrate (50 nM) is added in reaction buffer plus ATP (1 μM). The reaction buffer contains 30 mM Tris-HCl₂ pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM DTT, 4 mM EDTA, 25 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 5 mM MnCl₂, and 0.01% BSA/PBS. Reactions are subsequently incubated for about 2 hours at room temperature and stopped by the addition of 0.5 M EDTA. Stopped reaction mixture is transferred to a neutradavin-coated plate and incubated for about 1 hour. Phosphorylated product is measured with the DELFIA time-resolved fluorescence system, using a rabbit anti-p-MEK (Cell Signaling) as the primary antibody and europium labeled anti-rabbit as the secondary antibody. Time resolved fluorescence can be read on a Wallac 1232 DELFIA fluorometer. The concentration of the compound for 50% inhibition (IC₅₀) is calculated by non-linear regression using XL Fit data analysis software.

Administration and Pharmaceutical Composition

In general, the compounds of preferred embodiments will be administered in a therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. The actual amount of the compound of preferred embodiments, i.e., the active ingredient, will depend upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used, the route and form of administration, and other factors. The drug can be administered more than once a day, preferably once or twice a day. All of these factors are within the skill of the attending clinician.

Effective amounts of the compounds of the preferred embodiments generally include any amount sufficient to detectably inhibit CSF-1R activity by any of the assays described herein, by other CSF-1R kinase activity assays known to those having ordinary skill in the art or by detecting an inhibition or alleviation of symptoms of cancer.

The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy. The therapeutically effective amount for a given situation can be readily determined by routine experimentation and is within the skill and judgment of the ordinary clinician.

For purposes of the preferred embodiments, a therapeutically effective dose generally can be a total daily dose administered to a host in single or divided doses may be in amounts, for example, of from about 0.001 to about 1000 mg/kg body weight daily and more preferred from about 1.0 to about 30 mg/kg body weight daily. Dosage unit compositions may contain such amounts of submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.

The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration and bioavailability of the drug substance. In general, compounds of preferred embodiments can be administered as pharmaceutical compositions by any one of the following routes: oral, systemic (e.g., transdermal, intranasal or by suppository), or parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous) administration. The preferred manner of administration is oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen that can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction. Compositions can take the form of tablets, pills, capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, or any other appropriate compositions. Another preferred manner for administering compounds of preferred embodiments is inhalation. This is an effective method for delivering a therapeutic agent directly to the respiratory tract (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,607,915).

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients include, for example, processing agents and drug delivery modifiers and enhancers, such as, for example, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, monosaccharides, disaccharides, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, dextrose, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, polyvinyl-pyrrolidinone, low melting waxes, ion exchange resins, and the like, as well as combinations of any two or more thereof. Liquid and semisolid excipients can be selected from glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol and various oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc. Preferred liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions, include water, saline, aqueous dextrose, and glycols. Other suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are described in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences,” Mack Pub. Co., New Jersey (1991), incorporated herein by reference.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to the nontoxic acid or alkaline earth metal salts of the compounds of Formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IV), or (V). These salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of Formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IV), or (V), or by separately reacting the base or acid functions with a suitable organic or inorganic acid or base, respectively. Representative salts include, but are not limited to, the following: acetate, adipate, alginate, citrate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, cyclopentanepropionate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemi-sulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, fumarate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylproionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate and undecanoate. Also, the basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with agents such as alkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chloride, bromides, and iodides; dialkyl sulfates like dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates, long chain halides such as decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides, aralkyl halides like benzyl and phenethyl bromides, and others. Water or oil-soluble or dispersible products are thereby obtained.

Examples of acids which may be employed to form pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include such inorganic acids as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid and such organic acids as oxalic acid, maleic acid, methanesulfonic acid, succinic acid and citric acid. Basic addition salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of Formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIa), (IIIb), (IV), or (V), or separately by reacting carboxylic acid moieties with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate of a pharmaceutically acceptable metal cation or with ammonia, or an organic primary, secondary or tertiary amine. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, cations based on the alkali and alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum salts and the like, as well as nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations, including, but not limited to ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylamine, and the like. Other representative organic amines useful for the formation of base addition salts include diethylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperazine and the like.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable ester” refers to esters, which hydrolyze in vivo and include those that break down readily in the human body to leave the parent compound or a salt thereof. Suitable ester groups include, for example, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly alkanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkanoic and alkanedioic acids, in which each alkyl or alkenyl moiety advantageously has not more than 6 carbon atoms. Examples of particular esters include formates, acetates, propionates, butyrates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs” as used herein refers to those prodrugs of the compounds of the preferred embodiments which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where possible, of the compounds of the embodiments. The term “prodrug” refers to compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound of the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. A thorough discussion is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the compounds of the preferred embodiments, including the compounds of Formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IV), or (V) or their tautomers, prodrugs, and stereoisomers, as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and prodrugs of any of them, may be processed in vivo through metabolism in a human or animal body or cell to produce metabolites. The term “metabolite” as used herein refers to the formula of any derivative produced in a subject after administration of a parent compound. The derivatives may be produced from the parent compound by various biochemical transformations in the subject such as, for example, oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, or conjugation and include, for example, oxides and demethylated derivatives. The metabolites of a compound of the embodiments may be identified using routine techniques known in the art. See, e.g., Bertolini, G. et al., J. Med. Chem. 40:2011-2016 (1997); Shan, D. et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 86(7):765-767; Bagshawe K., Drug Dev. Res. 34:220-230 (1995); Bodor, N., Advances in Drug Res. 13:224-331 (1984); Bundgaard, H., Design of Prodrugs (Elsevier Press 1985); and Larsen, I. K., Design and Application of Prodrugs, Drug Design and Development (Krogsgaard-Larsen et al., eds., Harwood Academic Publishers, 1991). It should be understood that individual chemical compounds that are metabolites of the compounds of Formulas (I), (IIa), (IIb), or (III) or their tautomers, prodrugs, and stereoisomers, as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and prodrugs of any of them, are included within the preferred embodiments.

The compounds of the preferred embodiments may be administered orally, parenterally, sublingually, by aerosolization or inhalation spray, rectally, or topically in dosage unit formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles as desired. Topical administration may also involve the use of transdermal administration such as transdermal patches or ionophoresis devices. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intrathecal, intramuscular, intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-propanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, cyclodextrins, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

The compounds of the preferred embodiments can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the preferred embodiments, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic. Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.W., p. 33 et seq. (1976).

Compressed gases may be used to disperse a compound of preferred embodiments in aerosol form. Inert gases suitable for this purpose are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. Other suitable pharmaceutical excipients and their formulations are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, edited by E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Company, 18th ed., 1990).

For delivery via inhalation the compound can be formulated as liquid solution, suspensions, aerosol propellants or dry powder and loaded into a suitable dispenser for administration. There are several types of pharmaceutical inhalation devices-nebulizer inhalers, metered dose inhalers (MDI) and dry powder inhalers (DPI). Nebulizer devices produce a stream of high velocity air that causes the therapeutic agents (which are formulated in a liquid form) to spray as a mist that is carried into the patient's respiratory tract. MDI's typically are formulation packaged with a compressed gas. Upon actuation, the device discharges a measured amount of therapeutic agent by compressed gas, thus affording a reliable method of administering a set amount of agent. DPI dispenses therapeutic agents in the form of a free flowing powder that can be dispersed in the patient's inspiratory air-stream during breathing by the device. In order to achieve a free flowing powder, the therapeutic agent is formulated with an excipient such as lactose. A measured amount of the therapeutic agent is stored in a capsule form and is dispensed with each actuation.

Recently, pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especially for drugs that show poor bioavailability based upon the principle that bioavailability can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from about 10 to about 1,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a crosslinked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,684 describes the production of a pharmaceutical formulation in which the drug substance is pulverized to nanoparticles (average particle size of about 400 nm) in the presence of a surface modifier and then dispersed in a liquid medium to give a pharmaceutical formulation that exhibits remarkably high bioavailability.

Combination Therapies

While the compounds of the preferred embodiments can be administered as the sole active pharmaceutical agent, they can also be used in combination with one or more other agents used in the treatment of cancer. The compounds of the preferred embodiments are also useful in combination with known therapeutic agents and anti-cancer agents, and combinations of the presently disclosed compounds with other anti-cancer or chemotherapeutic agents are within the scope of the preferred embodiments.

General Synthetic Methods

The compounds of preferred embodiments can be prepared from readily available starting materials using the following general methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures.

Additionally, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. Suitable protecting groups for various functional groups as well as suitable conditions for protecting and deprotecting particular functional groups are well known in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups are described in T. W. Greene and G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, Wiley, New York, 1999, and references cited therein.

Furthermore, the compounds of preferred embodiments contain one or more chiral centers. Accordingly, if desired, such compounds can be prepared or isolated as pure stereoisomers, i.e., as individual enantiomers or diastereomers, or as stereoisomer-enriched mixtures. All such stereoisomers (and enriched mixtures) are included within the scope of the embodiments, unless otherwise indicated. Pure stereoisomers (or enriched mixtures) may be prepared using, for example, optically active starting materials or stereoselective reagents well-known in the art. Alternatively, racemic mixtures of such compounds can be separated using, for example, chiral column chromatography, chiral resolving agents and the like.

The starting materials for the following reactions are generally known compounds or can be prepared by known procedures or obvious modifications thereof. For example, many of the starting materials are available from commercial suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wis., USA), Bachem (Torrance, Calif., USA), Emka-Chemce or Sigma (St. Louis, Mo., USA). Others may be prepared by procedures, or obvious modifications thereof, described in standard reference texts such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volumes 1-15 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991), Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1-5 and Supplementals (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989), Organic Reactions, Volumes 1-40 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991), March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, (John Wiley and Sons, 4^(th) Edition), and Larock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989).

The various starting materials, intermediates, and compounds of the preferred embodiments may be isolated and purified where appropriate using conventional techniques such as precipitation, filtration, crystallization, evaporation, distillation, and chromatography. Characterization of these compounds may be performed using conventional methods such as by melting point, mass spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance, and various other spectroscopic analyses.

Compounds of the embodiments may generally be prepared using a number of methods familiar to one of skill in the art, such as, for example, the methods disclosed in U.S. patent application Publication Nos. US20040087626 A1 and US20040122237 A1, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety, in connection with the following description and examples. The compounds of the embodiments may be generally made in accordance with the following reaction Schemes 1-8, which are described in detail in the Examples, below.

Schemes 1-8 illustrate general methods for the preparation of intermediates and compounds of the embodiments. These compounds are prepared from starting materials either known in the art or are commercially available. The specific compounds are for illustrative purposes only.

In Scheme 1, 2-hydroxyaniline or a derivative thereof reacts with ethylxanthic acid to give a thiol-benzoxazole. The thiol-benzoxazole is converted to a chloro-benzoxazole with reaction with thionyl chloride. Alternatively, the thiol benzoxazole can be converted to halogenated benzoxazole with a array of halogenating agents, such as, but not limited to phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus tribromide, phosgene, or oxalyl chloride. The chloro-benzoxazole is then reacted with a benzylamine such as 2-chlorobenzylamine to give a benzylamino-benzoxazole. The benzylamino-benzoxazole is coupled with chloro-pyridine in the presence of a base such as, cesium carbonate to give a compound of the invention. Alternatively, a halogenated pyridine can be used for the coupling.

In Scheme 2, a thiol-benzoxazole or derivative thereof is alkylated at the thiol moiety. The alkylated thiol-benzoxazole is coupled with the corresponding halo pyridine such as chloro-pyridine in the presence of a base such as cesium carbonate to give a compound of the invention. The resulting benzoxazolyloxy-pyridine is oxidized, for instance, with mCPBA. Other oxidizing agents can be used to oxidize the thiol to a sulfoxide. Other oxidizing agents include, but are not limited to, hydrogen peroxide, sodium periodate, pyridinium chlorochromate or chromium trioxide. The sulfoxide of the benzoxazolyloxy-pyridine is subjected to nucleophilic attack with an amine to give a compound of the invention.

In Scheme 3, cyanoacetate and 1,5-dibromopentane are coupled to form 1-cyano-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester after cyclization. This product is reduced with hydrogen and Raney nickel. Other reducing agents can be used to reduce the nitrile group to an amine. Other reducing agents include, but are not limited to, catalytic hydrogenation using platinum oxide or Raney nickel or lithium aluminum hydride, diisobutyl aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, or lithium triethylborohydride. The reduced product is coupled with sulfoxo-benzoxazolyloxy-pyridine. The resulting product from the coupling reaction can be further functionalized or derivatized. For example, in Scheme 3, an ester group can be converted to a carboxylic acid group from hydrolysis and then converted to an amide from reaction with an amine. These reactions are well-known conversions to one skilled in the art.

In Scheme 4, 3-(2-piperidin-1-yl-ethyl)-phenylamine is an example of an amine that can be used to form a compound of the embodiments. 3-(2-Piperidin-1-yl-ethyl)-phenylamine is formed from sulfonation of 2-(3-nitrophenyl)-ethanol, then aminating the resulting methanesulfonic acid 2-(3-nitrophenyl)-ethyl ester, and subsequently reducing the resulting 1-[2-(3-nitrophenyl)-ethyl]-piperidine.

In Scheme 5, 4-(2-(methylsulfinyl)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide is aminated with cyclohexylmethanamine. The resulting 4-(2-(cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide is then hydrolyzed to form 4-[2-(cyclohexylmethyl-amino)-benzooxazol-6-yloxy]-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid. 4-[2-(Cyclohexylmethyl-amino)-benzooxazol-6-yloxy]-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid then reacts with benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate, tert-butyl carbazate, and triethyl amine to form 4-(2-(cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)pyridine-2-carbohydrazide. 4-(2-(Cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)pyridine-2-carbohydrazide then reacts with trimethyl orthoformate to form a compound of the embodiments.

In Scheme 6, a compound of the embodiment can be further functionalized. For instance, 4-(2-(cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid is reduced to {4-(2-(cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)pyridine-2-yl}-methanol with borane. Other suitable reducing agents include, but are not limited to, lithium aluminum hydride, aluminum hydride, diisobultyl aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, or lithium triethylborohydride. {4-(2-(Cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)pyridine-2-yl}-methanol is then oxidized to 4-(2-(cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde with Dess-Martin reagent. Other suitable oxidizing agents include, but are not limited to, pyridinium chlorochromate, SO₃ pyridine in DMSO, or conditions commonly referred to as a Swern or Moffet oxidation. 4-(2-(Cyclohexylmethylamino)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yloxy)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde is then converted to cyclohexylmethyl-{6-[2-(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyridin-4-yloxy]-benzooxazol-2-yl}-amine by reaction with pyruvic aldehyde.

In Scheme 7, a compound of the embodiments is synthesized from reaction of 4-(2-methanesulfinyl-benzooxazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide (from Example 2) with 1-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-ethylamine. In one instance, 1-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-ethylamine is synthesized via a resin.

An amine linked to a resin is reacted with 2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxine-5-carbaldehyde, thus giving C-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-methyleneamine. C-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-methyleneamine is derivatized with alkylation at the imino site, such as with methyl magnesium bromide. Other alkylating agents can be used according to the desired molecule. The resulting 1-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-ethylamine is cleaved from the resin. An example of a resin-cleaving agent is trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The resulting 1-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-ethylamine can be used for synthesis of a compound of the embodiments. For instance, 1-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-ethylamine can be used to react with 4-(2-methanesulfinyl-benzooxazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide to form 4-{2-[1-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-ethylamino]-benzooxazol-6-yloxy}-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide.

In Scheme 8, 2-mercapto-benzothiazol-6-ol was prepared as per U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,346. 2-Mercapto-benzothiazol-6-ol is then converted to 2-methylsulfanyl-benzothiazol-6-ol via conventional procedures to remove an ethereal protecting group. Reaction of 2-methylsulfanyl-benzothiazol-6-ol with methyl iodide provides alkylation at the thiol position. Reaction of 2-methylsulfanyl-benzothiazol-6-ol with 4-chloro-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide gives 4-(2-methylsulfanyl-benzothiazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide. Subsequent oxidation of 4-(2-methylsulfanyl-benzothiazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide gives 4-(2-methanesulfinyl-benzothiazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide. 4-(2-Methanesulfinyl-benzothiazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide can be a substrate for reaction with various amines. For instance, 4-(2-methanesulfinyl-benzothiazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide can react with cyclohexylmethylamine to give 4-[2-(cyclohexylmethyl-amino)-benzothiazol-6-yloxy]-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide.

In Scheme 9 benzoxazoles or benzothiazoles of formula 9.1 can be reacted with a substituted amine to provide intermediates of the formula 9.2. Treatment of intermediates of formula 9.2 with a reagent such as, for example, BBr₃ provides phenols of the formula 9.3. Subsequent treatment of intermediates of formula 9.3 with 4-halo pyridines of formula 9.4 at temperatures generally ranging from, but not limited to, room temperature to 130° C. provides in the presence of a base such as, for example, potassium or cesium carbonate provides compounds for formula 9.5. Further treatment with boronic acids or stannanes under conditions known to those practiced in the art as Suzuki or Stille reactions provides compounds of formula 9.6. In addition, treatment of a compound of formula 9.5 with a substituted amine under conditions known to those practiced in the art for a Buchwald reaction or SnAr reaction provides compounds of formula 9.7.

In Scheme 10 benzoxazoles or benzothiazoles of formula 10.5 and 10.6 can be prepared starting with a 4-halopyridine for formula 10.1 which can be (1) treated with boronic acids or stannanes under conditions known to those practiced in the art as Suzuki or Stille reactions provides intermediates of formula 10.2 or (2) reacted with a substituted amine under conditions known to those practiced in the art for a Buchwald reaction or SnAr reaction to provide intermediates of formula 10.3. Subsequent reaction of intermediates of formula 10.2 or 10.3 with a phenolic intermediate of formula 10.4 in the presence of a base such as, for example, potassium or cesium carbonate in a solvent such as, for example, dimethyl formamide, acetonitrile or dioxane provides compounds of formula 10.5 and 10.6.

Referring to the examples that follow, compounds of the preferred embodiments were synthesized using the methods described herein, or other methods, which are known in the art.

The compounds and/or intermediates were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Waters Millenium chromatography system with a 2695 Separation Module (Milford, Mass.). The analytical columns were reversed phase Phenomenex Luna C18-5μ, 4.6×50 mm, from Alltech (Deerfield, Ill.). A gradient elution was used (flow 2.5 mL/min), typically starting with 5% acetonitrile/95% water and progressing to 100% acetonitrile over a period of 10 minutes. All solvents contained 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Compounds were detected by ultraviolet light (UV) absorption at either 220 or 254 nm. HPLC solvents were from Burdick and Jackson (Muskegan, Mich.), or Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, Pa.).

In some instances, purity was assessed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using glass or plastic backed silica gel plates, such as, for example, Baker-Flex Silica Gel 1B2-F flexible sheets. TLC results were readily detected visually under ultraviolet light, or by employing well known iodine vapor and other various staining techniques.

Mass spectrometric analysis was performed on one of two LCMS instruments: a Waters System (Alliance HT HPLC and a Micromass ZQ mass spectrometer; Column: Eclipse XDB-C18, 2.1×50 mm; gradient: 5-95% (or 35-95%, or 65-95% or 95-95%) acetonitrile in water with 0.05% TFA over a 4 min period; flow rate 0.8 mL/min; molecular weight range 200-1500; cone Voltage 20 V; column temperature 40° C.) or a Hewlett Packard System (Series 1100 HPLC; Column: Eclipse XDB-C18, 2.1×50 mm; gradient: 5-95% acetonitrile in water with 0.05% TFA over a 4 min period; flow rate 0.8 mL/min; molecular weight range 150-850; cone Voltage 50 V; column temperature 30° C.).

The spectral reference was either TMS or the known chemical shift of the solvent. Some compound samples were run at elevated temperatures (e.g., 75° C.) to promote increased sample solubility.

The purity of some of the compounds is assessed by elemental analysis (Desert Analytics, Tucson, Ariz.).

Melting points are determined on a Laboratory Devices MeI-Temp apparatus (Holliston, Mass.).

Preparative separations are carried out using a Flash 40 chromatography system and KP-Sil, 60A (Biotage, Charlottesville, Va.), or by flash column chromatography using silica gel (230-400 mesh) packing material, or by HPLC using a Waters 2767 Sample Manager, C-18 reversed phase column, 30×50 mm, flow 75 mL/min. Typical solvents employed for the Flash 40 Biotage system and flash column chromatography are dichloromethane, methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane, acetone, aqueous ammonia (or ammonium hydroxide), and triethyl amine.

Each of the compounds listed in Table 2 were shown to have activity with respect to inhibition of CSF-1R with an IC₅₀ of less than about 10 μM. Many of the compounds exhibited activity with an IC₅₀ of less than about 1 μM, or less than about 0.1 μM, or less than about 0.01 μM with respect to CSF-1R inhibition. The compounds of Tables 3 and 4 were found to have an activity of less than 1 μM. As such, each of the compounds of Tables 2, 3, and 4 is preferred individually and as a member of a group.

In addition to CSF-1R inhibitory activity, many of the compounds of Tables 2, 3, and 4 were also screened for Raf inhibition (according to biochemical screens described in U.S. Ser. No. 10/405,945, which is entirely incorporated by reference), as well as other kinases, and shown to inhibit CSF-1R significantly greater (between about 2 and about 1,000 fold greater) than Raf and other kinases screened. More particularly, many of the compounds screened had activity greater about 1 μM with respect to Raf inhibition, whereas many of the same compounds exhibited activities with respect to CSF-1R at less than about 0.1 μM. As such, many of the compounds of Tables 2, 3, and 4 are potent and selective inhibitors of CSF-1R.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES Biological Example 1 In Vitro Kinase Assays for Colony Stimulating Factor-1 Receptor (CSF-1R)

The kinase activity of various protein tyrosine kinases can be measured by providing ATP and a suitable peptide or protein tyrosine-containing substrate, and assaying the transfer of phosphate moiety to the tyrosine residue. Recombinant protein corresponding to the cytoplasmic domain of the human CSF-1R was purchased from Invitrogen Corporation, Carlsbad, Calif. U.S.A. (#PV3249). For each assay, test compounds were serially diluted, starting at 25 μM with 3 fold dilutions, in DMSO in 384 well plates then mixed with an appropriate kinase reaction buffer consisting of 50 mM Hepes, 5 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM MnCl₂, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.5, 1.0 mM dithiothreitol, 0.01% Tween 80 plus 1 μM ATP. Kinase protein and an appropriate biotinylated peptide substrate at 50 nM were added to give a final volume of 20 μL, reactions were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and stopped by the addition of 10 μL of 45 mM EDTA, 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5. Added to the stopped reaction mix was 30 μL of PT66 Alphascreen beads (Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass., U.S.A.). The reaction was incubated overnight and read on the Envision (Perkin Elmer). Phosphorylated peptide product was measured with the AlphaScreen system (Perkin Elmer) using acceptor beads coated with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody PT66 and donor beads coated with streptavidin that emit a fluorescent signal at the 520-620 nM emission wave length if in close proximity. The concentration of each compound for 50% inhibition (IC₅₀) was calculated by non-linear regression using XL Fit data analysis software.

CSF-1R kinase was assayed in 50 mM Hepes pH 7.0, 5 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM MnCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 1 mg/ml BSA, 1.0 μM ATP, and 0.05 μM biotin-GGGGRPRAATF-NH₂ (SEQ ID NO:2) peptide substrate. CSF-1R kinase was added at final concentration of 4 nM.

Biological Example 2 In Vitro Inhibition of CSF-1R Receptor Tyrosine Phosphorylation

To test the inhibition of CSF-1R receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, HEK293H purchased from Invitrogen Cat. #11631017 cells transfected with the full-length human CSF-1R receptor cloned in house into mammalian episomal transfection vector were incubated for 1 h with serial dilutions of compounds starting at 10 μM with 3 fold dilutions and then stimulated for 8 min with 50 ng/ml MCSF. After the supernatant was removed, the cells were lysed on ice with lysis buffer (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Triton X-100 and NaF, protease and phosphatase inhibitors) and then shaken for 15-20 min at 4° C. The lysate was then transferred to total CSF-1R antibody coated 96-well plates that had already been blocked with 3% Blocker A from Mesoscale discovery (MSD) for 2 hours and washed afterwards. Lysates were incubated overnight at 4° C. and the plates were then washed 4× with MSD Tris Wash Buffer. The SULFO-TAG anti-pTyr antibody from MSD was diluted to 20 nM final in 1% Blocker A (MSD) solution and added to the washed plates and incubated for 1.5-2 h before addition of read buffer (MSD). The plates were read on the Sector 6000 instrument (MSD). Raw data was imported in Abase and EC₅₀s calculated with XL-fit data analysis software.

Biological Example 3 CSF-1R Inhibitors in MNFS-60 Pk/Pd Model

Five million MNFS-60 cells were implanted in HBSS/matrigel solution s.q. in the right flank. Approximately 3 weeks following tumor cell injection tumors were measured and selected mice were randomized (n=3 except for the vehicle group, where n=6) into groups based on their tumor size.

Compounds that inhibited M-CSF mediated proliferation in MNFS-60 cells and phosphorylation of CSF-1R with EC₅₀s<100 nM were tested in the MNFS-60 syngeneic tumor model (5×10⁶ where implanted subcutaneously in matrigel and grown 3-4 weeks until they reached approximately 150 mm²). A single 100 mg/kg dose of representative compounds disclosed herein was administered to MNFS-60 tumored animals; plasma and tumor samples were harvested at various time points after dosing starting at 1 h up to 24 h.

Several of the compounds disclosed herein were shown to inhibit Tyr723 phosphorylation of CSF-1R in tumor lysates at ≧50% compared to vehicle control 4 hrs after dosing as determined by Western Blot.

Additionally, several of the compounds disclosed herein were tested in a rapid onset severe arthritis mouse model (Terato, K. et al., Journal of Immunology 148:2103-2108; 1992) and treatment started on day three after injection of the anti-collagen antibody cocktail followed by LPS stimulation. Throughout the 12 days of treatment with CSF-1R inhibitors, the extent of swelling in the paws and bone resorption severity was scored. Significant attenuation of the swelling was not observed in the treated compared to control group; however, there was a trend toward improvement of bone resorption severity. There are no reports to date that CSF-1R inhibitors are effective in this arthritis model. The only successful reduction of disease progression was reported for inhibition by CSF-1R signaling with an Anti-MCSF antibody in a less severe, slower onset arthritis mouse model (Campbell et al J. Leukoc. Biol. 68: 144-150; 2000).

Biological Example 4 Inhibition of Raf Kinase Signaling in an In Vitro Biochemical Assay

The inhibitory effect of compounds on Raf was determined using the following biotinylated assay. The Raf kinase activity was measured by providing ATP, a recombinant kinase inactive MEK substrate and assaying the transfer of phosphate moiety to the MEK residue. Recombinant full length MEK with an inactivating K97R ATP binding site mutation (rendering kinase inactive) was expressed in E. coli and labelled with biotin post purification. The MEK cDNA was subcloned with an N-terminal (His)₆ tag and expressed in E. coli and the recombinant MEK substrate was purified from E. coli lysate by nickel affinity chromatography followed by anion exchange. The final MEK substrate preparation was biotinylated (Pierce EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin) and concentrated to 11.25 μM. Recombinant Raf (including c-Raf and mutant B-Raf isoforms) was obtained by purification from sf9 insect cells infected with the corresponding human Raf recombinant expression vectors. The recombinant Raf isoforms were purified via a Glu antibody interaction or by Metal Ion Chromatography.

For each assay, the compound was serially diluted, starting at 25 μM with 3-fold dilutions, in DMSO and then mixed with various Raf isoforms (0.50 nM each). The kinase inactive biotin-MEK substrate (50 nM) was added in reaction buffer plus ATP (1 μM). The reaction buffer contained 30 mM Tris-HCL₂ pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM DTT, 4 mM EDTA, 25 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 5 mM MnCl₂, and 0.01% BSA/PBS. Reactions were subsequently incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and stopped by the addition of 0.5 M EDTA. Stopped reaction mixture was transferred to a neutradavin-coated plate (Pierce) and incubated for 1 hour. Phosphorylated product was measured with the DELFIA time-resolved fluorescence system (Wallac), using a rabbit anti-p-MEK (Cell Signaling) as the primary antibody and europium labeled anti-rabbit as the secondary antibody. Time resolved fluorescence can be read on a Wallac 1232 DELFIA fluorometer. The concentration of the compound for 50% inhibition (IC₅₀) was calculated by non-linear regression using XL Fit data analysis software.

Biological Example 5 Inhibition of cKIT and PDGFRb Kinase Signaling in an In Vitro Biochemical Assay

The IC50 values for the inhibition of RTKs were determined in the alphascreen format measuring the inhibition by compound of phosphate transfer to a substrate by the respective enzyme. Briefly, the respective RTK domain purchased as human recombinant protein (cKIT Upstate #14-559, PDGFRb Invitrogen #P3082) were incubated with serial dilutions of compound in the presence of substrate and ATP concentrations within 3 times the Km of the enzyme.

The kinase domain of cKIT was assayed in 50 mM Hepes, pH=7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM MnCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% BSA with 0.06 uM biotinylated peptide substrate (GGLFDDPSYVNVQNL-NH2) and 15 uM ATP (ATP KM apparent=15 uM). The kinase domain of PDGFRβ was assayed in 50 mM Hepes, pH=7.5, 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% BSA with 0.1 uM biotinylated peptide substrate (GGLFDDPSYVNVQNL-NH2) and 10 uM ATP (ATP KM apparent=25 uM). Reactions were incubated at room temperature for 3 to 4 hr and stopped with buffer (20 mM EDTA, 0.01% Tween-20 for both PDGFRb and cKIT). Alphascreen PY20 beads were added to the stopped cKIT reactions and PY20 Ab/Protein A Alphascreen beads were added to the PDGFRβ stopped reactions. Both reactions were incubated overnight and read on the Alphascreen reader. The concentration of compound for 50% inhibition (IC₅₀) was calculated employing non-linear regression using XL-Fit data analysis software. As a control compou254d, staurosporine is run in every assay and a Z′>0.5 is required to validate results.

Biological Example 6 Cell Viability Assay in MCSF Dependent MNFS60 Cells

Cell viability was assessed by Cell Titer Glo, Promega. MNFS60 (murine AML cells) were seeded in TC treated 96-well plates at a density of 5,000 cells per well in RPMI-1640, 10% FBS, and 1% Penicillin Streptomycin prior to addition of compound. Test compounds were serially diluted (3 fold) in DMSO to 500× the final concentration. For each concentration of test compound, 2 μl (500×) aliquots of compound or 100% DMSO (control) were diluted in 500 μl of culture medium that contained 2× final concentration of growth factor MCSF for 2× concentration and then diluted 1× on the cells. Final concentration of MCSF is 10 ng/ml. Cells were incubated for 72 hrs at 37° C., 5% CO₂. After the incubation 100 μl Cell Titer Glo is added to each well to determine viable cells. The assay was performed according to the manufacturer's instruction (Promega Corporation, Madison, Wis. USA). Each experimental condition was performed in triplicate. Raw data was imported in Abase and EC₅₀s calculated with XL-fit data analysis software. Relative light units of wells that contained cells without MCSF in the media and as a consequence didn't grow were defined as 100% inhibited.

Biological Example 7 Tumor Induced Osteolysis Model

Tumor-induced osteolysis (TIO) models have been shown to recapitulate gross bone destruction seen in cancer patients with osteolytic tumor metastasis and have been reported extensively in both the bisphosphonate literature and in conjunction with the testing of novel anti-osteolytic agents. Results from these studies correlate well with human clinical activity (Kim S-J et al., 2005, Canc. Res., 65(9): 3707; Corey, E et al., 2003, Clin. Canc. Res., 9:295; Alvarez, E. et al., 2003, Clin. Canc. Res., 9: 5705). The procedure includes injection of tumor cells directly into the proximal tibia. Once the cells are established, they proliferate and secrete factors that potentiate osteoclast activity, resulting in trabecular and cortical bone resorption. Animals are treated with anti-resorptive agents following tumor cell implantation and bone destruction is measured in a number of ways at the end of the study.

The tumor cell lines utilized in this protocol are of human origin and represent tumor lines that have been previously modified such that they now express the enzyme Luciferase in order to track tumor cells in the animal using the Xenogen system. The strength of the light signal also gives an indication of approximately how many tumor cells are located at a particular site.

Mice are injected subcutaneously with either 2.5 mg/kg flunixin meglumine 30 minutes prior to cell inoculation to provide post-procedural analgesia. The mice are then be anesthetized by isoflurane inhalation (ketamine/xylazine injection may be used if isoflurane is not available). Anesthetized animals are placed in the supine position and following tumor cell aspiration into a 50 or 100 μl micro-syringe fitted with a 26- or 27-gauge needle, the needle will be inserted through the cortex of the anterior tuberosity of the right tibia with a rotating “drill-like” movement to minimize the chance for cortical fracture. Successful passage of the needle through the cortex and into the marrow is indicated by loss of resistance against the forward movement of the needle. Once the bone cortex is traversed, 10-20 μl of cell suspension (6×10ˆ5 MDA-MB-231Luc breast carcinoma or 3×10ˆ5 PC-3MLuc prostate carcinoma cells) will be injected into the tibia bone marrow. Animals will be observed to ensure uneventful recovery (warming pad or lamp) until they have recovered from anesthesia.

Progression of tumor growth in the bone can be divided into five stages (Stages 0-4). The stages are defined as follows and can be monitored by comparison to the uninjected (left) leg of the mouse:

Stage 0: normal, no sign of any change in the bone.

Stage 1: Equivocal or minimal lesion; cortex/architecture normal.

Stage 2: Definite lesion; minimal cortex/architecture disruption.

Stage 3: Large lesion; cortex/architecture disruption.

Stage 4: Gross destruction; no preservation of architecture, “late stage”. Animals reaching this stage will be taken off the study and euthanized.

Photon imaging of the legs are used to assess the tumor growth at the injection and remote sites during study using the Xenogen system to quantitate tumor cells in the tibia and confirm lack of leakage into other areas. Radiograms of the legs are taken up to once a week through the end of the study using Faxitron X-ray Unit to assess cortical bone destruction at the injection site. While using more invasive cell lines such as the PC-3M-Luc, we monitor bone damage one to two weeks after injection and weekly thereafter. For cell lines that form lesions at a slower rate, such as the MDA-MB-231Luc, which does not manifest bone damage until 4-5 weeks post-implantation, first radiographic images are taken approximately 4 weeks after animals have been intratibially implanted with cells to establish baseline controls and then once a week to measure bone damage starting at a time point when lesions begin to develop based on model development pilot studies. For example, in mice injected with MDA-MB-231Luc, an image would be taken approximately 4 weeks post-implantation, with weekly images thereafter.

Animals may be dosed with small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, or proteins once or twice daily, by any standard routes.

The endpoint of this study is the time point at which the majority of untreated (negative control) animals have reached late stage disease (Stage 4) and have been euthanized. At that point, the remaining animals in the study are euthanized, regardless of the stage of their tumors. Studies last approximately 5-10 weeks depending on the cell line. After the final x-ray is taken, blood is drawn from the animals by cardiac puncture (for assaying serum bone markers; see below). Endpoint x-ray images are then distributed to 5 volunteers who score each image according to the scoring system detailed above. Scores for each mouse are averaged and expressed as mean osteolytic score or percent of animals with severe osteolysis (animals with scores greater than 2).

Biological Example 8 Mouse Trap5b Assay (IDS Inc., Fountain Hills, Ariz.)

This assay is a solid phase immunofixed enzyme activity assay for the determination of osteoclast-derived tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b in mouse serum samples. Trap5b is expressed by bone resorbing osteoclasts and secreted into the circulation. Thus, serum Trap5b is considered to be a useful marker of osteoclast activity, number and bone resorption.

The mouse Trap5b assay uses a polyclonal antibody prepared using recombinant mouse Trap5b as antigen. In the test, the antibody is incubated in anti-rabbit IgG-coated microtiter wells. After washing, standard, controls and diluted serum samples are incubated in the wells, and bound Trap5b activity is determined with a chromogenic substrate to develop color. The reaction is stopped and the absorbance of the reaction mixture read in a microtiter plate reader at 405 nm. Color intensity is directly proportional to the amount and activity of Trap5b present in the sample. By plotting the mean absorbance for each standard on the ordinate against concentration on the abscissa, values for unknown samples can be read from the standard curve and expressed in U/L Trap5b. Analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.1 U/L and inter- and intra-assay variation are below 10%. Trap5b levels were found to correlate well with mean osteolytic score (assessed by x-ray).

While a number of preferred embodiments of the invention and variations thereof have been described in detail, other modifications and methods of use will be readily apparent to those of skill in the art. Accordingly, it should be understood that various applications, modifications and substitutions may be made of equivalents without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the claims.

The percent inhibition activities of the compounds of Tables 2, 3, and 4 when tested at about 1 μM in the indicated assay as described in the Biological Examples are shown respectively in Tables 5, 6, and 7. It is contemplated that compounds having 0% inhibition at 1 μM will exhibit inhibitory activities at a higher concentration. An “N/D” means that the compound was not tested in the particular assay.
